Suggest Infant Milk Formulas Without Cow;s Milk Proteins

I recently starting formula feeding my 4 mth old son, whenever he drinks the formula milk he breaks out into rashes all over his body. my doctor says he is reacting towards the cow's milk protein in the formula. Are there any other infant formulas that i can try ?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Let me emphasize on the fact that breast milk is the best possible feed for a baby and there are can be no alternatives for the same. In case breast milk cannot be procured, early weaning can be done between 4-5 months of age by introducing semisolids into the diet.

Enfamil or Zerolac are soy based formula which can be given as alternatives to cow milk or cow milk based formula. You may give any of these a try.
